Why choose a home lift over a stairlift?
Whether you are planning to build your own home or you wish to grow old in your current property, installing a home lift where your property has two or more floors is an ideal solution and something to consider as an alternative to a stairlift.
Against a stairlift, where you are tied to having this installed alongside a staircase, a domestic lift can be installed anywhere within your property… you could even have it as a statement piece in the centre of a room! This advantage allows those who are wheelchair users and those with walking disabilities, move freely around their home. Providing independence without the need to be seated as you would on a stairlift or, for outside intervention from carers and assisted living facilities. If you are thinking of future-proofing your home, a home lift can still be installed now and utilised for other household tasks such as transporting heavy objects from floor to floor until you have a requirement to also use it for mobility purposes.
Our home lifts offer value for money throughout the product’s life-cycle. With robust and durable manufacturing, our domestic lifts have a life span of 25+ years, whereas a stairlift only has ten years. By investing in a home lift, you can increase the curb appeal and overall value of your home – when it comes to selling your property, you can sell for a greater price.
How much does a home lift cost?
The cost of a home lift varies by brand, lift model and size, number of floors as well as on your choice of options and accessories. To give you a rough idea, a lift serving 2 floors has a starting price of approximately £20,000. But before you think about the home lift cost, you might want to see what your lift could look like. We offer you the possibility to create your own design with our lift configurator.
What affects the price of your lift?
The price of your domestic lift varies because it depends on your lift specification, for example:
- The lift model and size
- Indoor/outdoor installation
- The number of floors
- Colours and materials
- Options and accessories

How much is a platform lift?
There is no single answer to this question, as the price of a platform lift depends on a number of factors and therefore varies from one situation to another. The price depends on the lift model you choose, specifications and installation environment. To give you a rough idea, a lift serving 2 floors may cost anything from £20 000 – £40 000.
If you want to know the price for your specific project, we will always ask you some questions first, such as:
- Will the lift be installed inside or outside?
- Is there enough space on each floor to install the lift, or do adjustments need to be made?
- How much space do you need inside the lift? Does the lift need to accommodate a wheelchair?
- How many floors does it need to service?
- What is the height between the floors and the total travel?
- Do you want additional options, such as automatic door openers or customised colours?
